the knit goes on.

how did it get to be thursday? this week went pretty quickly for a week with nothing doing. one week from today i’ll be in ohio, hugging my melanie and not letting go. i haven’t seen melanie since march of 2007, when she did me the great honour of standing up for me at my wedding. frankly, that is a long time to go without seeing your bff. yeah, that’s right. bff. i could probably write/talk for hours about what mel means to me, but i don’t want to get too sappy and scare off the two people who actually read this (i.e. mel and kc), so suffice to say that mel means the actual world to me and without her i would be pretty lost. everyone should have a friend like i have in mel.
so bearing that in mind, my current front burner knitting project is a present for her! mel’s birthday is coming up at the end of the month and when i asked what she wanted she requested a handknit scarf from me. which was pretty touching, being asked to make something. so i picked the pattern, mel helped me pick the yarn and colour (elann.com soie bambou in sea grass), and now i’m feverishly knitting, hoping to get the project done by next week, which might be doubtful, but even so, i’d like her to have it in hand by her birthday.
melanie- this one is for you, babes.
